State College Board 
Outlines Reasons for 
Liberal Arts Ban 


Friday, January 10, 1947 

The Board of Trustees of State 
Colleges jast night gave the “enor- 
mous expense” involved as the res- 
son for its action In turning down 
last Friday by a reported 4 to 3 vote 
petitions for establishment of a lib- 
eral arts course at Rhode Island 
State College. 

The first public explanation of 
the motives for the majority vote 
was issued by John F. Brown, 
chairman of the board, and one of 
those whoa voted down the pro- 
posal. 

He gave the board's position in 
a letter to Roswell S. Bosworth, Jr. 
of the editoria! staff of “The Bea- 
con,” undergraduate paper at State 
College, a copy of which he sent 
to the Journal-Bulletin. In his let- 
ter, he listed the reasons for the 
action of the trustees voting “not 
to grant a Bachelor of Arts De- 
gree at the State College’ as fol- 
lows:

Senate Asks Governor 
To Take Action 


[In immediste fo the 
negative decision of the board of 
trustees of this college, students 
and porents alike are on the move 
to bring about a reconsideration 
of the negative stand which has 
been taken by the board, 

The Student Senate, along with 
the Sachems are presenting to Goy- 
ernor John ©. Pastore a proposal 
signed by every member of the stu- 
dent body calling for the A, B. or 
B. S. Degree, and stating that it is 
the responsibility of the State gov- 
ernment to provide this opportun- 
lity: It also states that an “A. B, de- 
gree can be given * * * with a mi- 
nor change in the course offered 
(now).” 

Along with this unanimous sup- 
port of all State students has come 
a letter to the Beacon from the 
president of the Patrons’ Associa- 
tion, Mr. Walter E. stat- 
Ing that ‘Neither the Patrons As- 
sociation mor the Alumni Associa- 
tion intend to stop here and with 
the help of the students, T believe 
we can accomplish cur purpose and 
at the same time increase the in- 
terest of the general public to see 
to it that our State Colleze has all 
of the advantages of like institu- 
tions of other states.” 

The petition, which will appear 
at the governor's office early this 
week, is the outcome of a unani- 
mous move by Sachems to sponsor 
this degree which is in great de- 
mand throughout the student body. 
Although it originated in the meet- 
ing of these members, the propo- 
sal was passed onto the Student 
Senate meeting Wednesday evening 
ee here was given prompt atten-

Voting for the candidates wil 
take place on Friday, January 17, 
at Lippitt Hall from 10 a. m, to

dred per cent turnout at the polls

and universities including Harvard, 
Yale, Brown, Boston, Columbia, 
Northwestern, Dartmouth, Cornell 
and Wisconsin, there is no require- 
ment for philosophy when an A. B. 
degree is given. Also on this list 
is every state college and univer- 
sity in New England. Although this 
philosophy course is quite desir- 


reason why the course cannot be 
omitted temporarily until a plan 
acceptable to all quarters can be 
adopted. 

Also brought out by students 
who had attended other colleges 
prior to the war was the method by 
which governing groups’ had 
awarded the arts degree. As an 
example, Massachusetts State Col- 
ege adopted the degree only as late 
as 1939. At the time there were 
considerably less students en- 
rolled in the courses there than we 
have at State at present, but the 
degree was granted and considered 
adequate at the time.

munication sent by President Wood- 
ward to the Chairman of the Rhode 
island Tax Commission, now mak- 
ing a study of finances of Rhode 
Island, he stressed most emphatic- 
ally the great need of funds for 
the courses in the technical field, 
which also will involve great ex- 
penditure of funds. 

“The position of the board mem- 
bers voting against the granting of 
the degree was concerned principal- 
ly with finding sufficient time in 
which to discover the attitude of 
those changed with the responsibili- 
ty of securing and administering 
the funds of this Stale, as to how 
far they felt the taxpayers of Rhode 
Island were willing to go in financ- 
ing the future growth and develop- 
ment of Rhode Island State Col- 
lege. At a meeting previous to the 
one at which the vote on the grant- 
ing of a Liberal Arts Degree was 
taken, the Board voted to appoint 
a committee to confer with elected 
representatives of the people, and

SOCIAL STUDIES 
GROUP TO MEET 


The Rhode Island Social Studies 
Association plans a novel meeting 
for Wednesday, Jan. 15, at 4:15 
Pp. m. in the Adams Lounge in 
Green Hall A radio address by 
Richard Semple, senior in East 
Providence High School, on the 
topic of the international control 
of the strategic waterways of the 
world, will be heard over Station

tions control of such important wa- 
terways as the Panama _ Canal, 
Suea Canal, the Dardanelles,

ube River is one that is directly 
connected with the efforts of the 
United States to establish the 
basic conditions for world-wide 
peace and prosperity. 

Similar meetings are being held 
in Woonsocket, Providence and 
Newport. Dr, William D. Metz of

HELP THE CAUSE |Anyway, were all wondering if be the main feature of entertain- 


American students and professors participate in World 
Student Relief through the World Student Service Fund, an 
agent for the people of today in the relief and rehabilitation | 
of students in Europe and Asia. | 

In 1945, the steady participation of Jewish students in 
WSSF was formalized at American universities assuming co- 
sponsorships with the other national student organizations 
sponsoring WSSF. The four Christian groups that are now 
organized in the United Student Christian Ccuncil as the 
United States section of the World’s Student Christian Fed- 
eration, Student Service of America, Inc., and the Hillel Foun-- 
dations comprise the responsible sponsorship of WSSF. 

The governing body of WSSF is the Genera] Committee, 
composed of representatives appointed by its sponsoring and 
cooperating organizations, with a certain number of persons, | 
including students, elected as members at large, by the Gen- 
eral Committee. 

WSSF was reorganized in 1945-46 on a regional basis, 
with a small national staff, with seven regional offices, part-— 
time American traveling secretaries, and foreign students 
brought to the United States for limited periods of speak- 
ing in the colleges. Officers, staff workers and members 
of the sponsoring organizations give generously of their time 
and talents to the leadership of WSSF and to the conduct 
of the campaign. | 

In 1945-46, 810 colleges and universities contributed 
$408,960.67. This amount was not at al] commensurate with 
either the universal needs of students or with the potential 
insight, imagination, compassion or capacity to give of the 
American students and professors. 

The WSSF campaign will continue on this campus 
through Wednesday, January 22. A quota of $500 has been | 
set for Rhode Island State College. Solicitors representing 
the Interfaith organization will contact everyone during the 
next two weeks. Many of us have unthinkingly joked about 
the people in Europe and Asia, Their situation, living with 
few of the barest necessities, was brought home forcefully 
in the assembly speech by Mr. James Glasse. Through the 
World Student Service Fund the students of this college can 
share their food and money. GIVE GENEROUSLY when |

“Basic aeneatane was the 
subject at the first meeting of the 
R, L Boat Club sponsored Shore 
School held last Monday. 


After the reguler business meet- 
| ing, Charles Shock, a senior mem- 
ber of the club discussed nomen- 
clature in reference to small sail- 
‘ing boats and particularly, ding- 
hies. He distributed charts and 
blueprints to each member to il- 
'lustrate the talk. 


The shore school is an oppor- 
tunity for any student interested in 
Sailing and boats to learn basic 
principles, rules, and other infor- 











matches with the Rhody sharp- | mation related to sailing. Therefore, 


shooters this season include Pres- | 
byterian College, Feb. 1; Oregon | 
State, Feb, 15; and Virginia Military 
Institute, March 1, All these teams 
were added to the already heavy 
schedule during the Christmas va- 
cation. 








all students are invited to attend 
the meetings which will be held 
every two weeks.

hockey enthusiasts are mak-| 40d returned home after the long- 


sought victory over the Redmen 
from Brooklyn where they met 
New Hampshire, Maine, and Con- 
necticut in that order at Kingston 
last week. 


Brown, who has at the helm a 
new coach this season in Web Ew- 
bank, has not fared too well on 
paper at the time of this publica- 
tion, having dropped three straight 
games before finally turning back 
MIT to the tune of 62-49. The first 
three setbacks came at the hands 
of Connecticut, 65-44; Harvard, 61- 
48° and Dartmouth, 47-34. 


The Bears, however, are much 
better potentially than their record 
attests, and are operating under an 
entirely new system this year, 
Adding to these facts that State's 
famous rival is always out to “do 
it” to the Rams in addition to the 
familiar color that usually crops 
up when these two clubs meet, 
everything points to a lively con- 
test all the way. 


In the two meetings between the 
schools during the regular season 
last year, the Keaneymen topped 
the Bruins twice, 76-55, and 69-67, 
with the second game turning out 
a real thriller. In the post-season 
charity same played at the Provi- 
dence Auditorium before the Na- 
tional Invitational Tournament, 
the Rams also walked away with 
another verdict, 72-52. 

In St. Joseph's of Philly, the 
Rams will get a firm test when 
they take the floor at Convention 
Hall. To date the Saints have a 
very good record, having won et 
tilts while dropping two. Their 
two setbacks came at the hands of 
fast-stepping opponents also, the 
Quaker-Staters being nosed out by

Entries for tac tournament, which 
starts on Monday, Jan. 20, are be-

the following Monday, so all cue

A beautiful inlaid jointed cus

RAMPAGING 


By John Pallotti 
The State Rams defested the 
at 


firat few minutes of play, but sud- 
denly the Hams shooting went 
wild. The Wildcats took advantage 
of this opportunity and not only 
tied the Rurm, but took o seven 
point lead. At half time the score 
was 32-31, with the Wildcats on 
top. As the Rams left the dressing 
room ffor the second half, one 
could easily see that they were 
ready to play the type of ball that 
they are capable of playing. 

The “boys in blue” scored 57 
points In the second stanza, with 
Ken Goodwin leading the parade 
gathering a 28 point game total. 
Hats off to Jackie Allen, the boy 
who has taken three terrific spilis 
in two games, but comes back every 
time to lead the Keaney attack, 
also to Ken Goodwin, who scored 
25 points and was the highlight of 
Tuesday's game. 

The Bruins of Brown University 
will offer Rhody’s next basketball 
competition. The Brown forces this 
Season are not as competent as the 
squads of yesteryear; however, the 
annual home and home tilts with 
the Bruins are always exciting. The 
Rams defeated Brown in three con- 
tests last season with scores of 76- 
55, 69-87 and 72-52. The 69-67 
classic, played at Marve! Gym was 
one of the most exciting games of 
“freeze” exhibited by Ernie Cal- 
verley was the deciding factor in 
the Bruins defeat. Brown Univer- 
sity sported a five game yictory- 
fifteen game defeat record, 
and this year the indications are 
that the College Hill basketballers 
will not better their standing. The 
Bruins are usually primed for the 
State game, and the Keaneymen 
will undoubtedly be pressed to the 
closing minute of play. 


We naturally expect Jackie Sore 
Bruce Blount, Ken

confident that the dazzling fast 
break of the Rams will cause the 
Bruin coach many headaches, not to 
mention what our boys will do to 
the invading Brown Bears,

the knowledge that at G.E. he could con- 
tinue his studies in electronics engineering. 

Dick had grown up with electronics. He 
had operated his own amateur radio station 
when he was 14, and at Minnesota he had 
specialized in communications.

regard to the securing of funds 
necessary to properly meet already

“I might sdd for your information 
that contrary to the incorrect state-

“Costs” of Course 
(Continued from Page One) 


In addition to reasons why the 
‘enormous expense” theory could 
not hold true, it was also said that 
the average cost of maintaining a 
Student in the liberal arts courses 
ran nearly 50 per cent below the 


Student enrolled in the technical | 


field. This is due to the lack of 
laboratory materials and research 


equipment quite necessary to the! 


technical students. 


Besides the letter of explanation | 
given by Chairman Brown there 
were letters from each individual 
member of the board explaining 
that the rule of the board allowed 
only the chairman to submit ma- 
terial discussed at the meetings.
